hello list, i came across a regression (?) in sane between the versions in %subj. i have a printer/scanner samsung scx 4300. now 1.0.20 does not have a support for this scanner but it's a simple matter of adding usb 0x04e8 0x342e into /etc/sane.d/xerox_mfp.conf. the scanner then works flawlessly. but as soon as i upgrade to 1.0.21 (where sane.d config already contains my device) something goes wrong and i can only get a grayscale output, to be more specific:
color -> grayscale (256 colors) grayscale -> 2 colors line art -> 2 colors i tried to overwrite all the /etc/sane.d/* with the ones from older version but this changed nothing. the problem has been first encountered on my arch linux box, then recreated on a fresh arch linux installation inside virtualbox. ubuntu users do not suffer as they still have 1.0.20 in their repository. if there's anything i can do to help isolating this bug, please let me know. cheers, jose
